I Prefer to Live in Fantasy Land Posts: 64864 Location: In the Hills of Texas	I started the journey of finding out what the ingredients actually were in dog foods years ago and then went to horse feed when I could no longer get quality oats and barley. In reality...it's pretty scary. Thanks for posting!

Expert Posts: 1695 Location: Willows, CA	AAFCO has no enforcement power. This is a guideline that each state follows with their own interpretation. 50 different interpretations. Most states consider any ingredient not listed as a defined feed ingredient in the AAFCO book as illegal for use, or a drug. The vague "byproduct" term clouds the issue even more. Making a label that 50 states will approve is a challenge. Many companies use the vague terms to do this. Edited by winwillows 2015-05-17 2:13 PM

Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	Horse feeds are downright scary. I don't think I could ever switch from what I feed now just for fear of what is in other feeds. I went to a local mill the other day and the FIRST ingredient in their pellet feed(s) was "processed grain byproducts". Grrrrreat. Edited by cavyrunsbarrels 2015-05-17 2:26 PM

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	streakysox - 2015-05-17 3:16 PM TAMU runs tests on a regular basis to make sure the ingredients in the bag match the tag as well as compare ingredients to the nutritional value on the tag. All feeds or the just the ones they use? Or do you send in your feed for testing? Do they publish their findings?

Processed foods for people is pure junk. The no fat, low fat, sugar substitues are making us fat.
